EMBL Events

Are you signed up for our 'Data analysis and bioinformatics' updates? 🧬💻📊 Here's our latest newsletter listing upcoming meetings and training opportunities in the field – make sure to mark your calendar and register to join us this year, on site or virtually 📅✍🏽 ➡️ https://lnkd.in/d8BKPcRY #DataAnalysis #Bioinformatics #ComputationalBiology #DataVisualization #Biostatistics #ComputationalGenomics #DataViz

📣 Don't forget to submit your application for #EMBLSuperResolution! Apply by 6 April and join this six-day comprehensive advanced microscopy course ➡️https://lnkd.in/eYxfV77b This course is designed for researchers at the early stages of their career in the life sciences (e.g. pre or postdoctoral level) and will provide in-depth knowledge on all aspects of STED nanoscopy through lectures, tutorials, and practical workshops.

EMBL welcomes its new Director General, Tony Hyman, who will take up the mandate of leading EMBL’s six sites as the organisation enters its next phase. Hyman, a group leader and visiting senior scientist at EMBL Heidelberg from 1993 to 1999, succeeds Interim Director Ewan Birney, who assumed leadership following the death of Interim Director General Peer Bork in January. Together, Bork and Birney had led the institution since former Director General Edith Heard moved to the Francis Crick Institute in London as its new Director and Chief Executive. “This is a moment when biology is changing rapidly,” said Hyman. “Advances in imaging, large-scale data generation, and artificial intelligence are reshaping how we study living systems. EMBL has played an important role in previous periods of change, and I look forward to working with colleagues across the organisation as it enters this next phase.” https://lnkd.in/dATD2DZR

Last chance to submit your application for the EMBO Practical Course 'Time-resolved macromolecular serial crystallography'! #EMBOTRSX Are you an early-career researchers with a background in structural biology and a strong interest in time-resolved methods, using X-rays and electrons Then this training is for you – we've extended the deadline until 12 April: s.embl.org/ser26-01-li The course will take place at EMBL Hamburg and will cover all aspects of time-resolved serial crystallography experiments, from data collection to electron density analysis. You can look forward to these modules: 🔹 Micro-crystallisation strategies and optimisation 🔹 Time-resolved serial crystallography experiment design and considerations 🔹 Serial crystallography experiments with the TapeDrive at P11 🔹 Fixed-target serial crystallography experiments at T-REXX using LAMA 🔹 Freeze-trapping experiments as a complement to TR-SSX 🔹 Serial electron diffraction experiments 🔹 Serial crystallography data analysis 🔹 Time-resolved data interpretation using real-life cases 🔹 Beamtime proposal preparation 🗓️ 6 – 10 July 2026 📍 EMBL Hamburg

⏰ Last chance to join us in person for #EESPhaseSeparation! Register by 7 April: s.embl.org/ees26-08-li This interdisciplinary conference brings together scientists from diverse fields to foster new discoveries and discuss emerging principles in condensate biology. Topics will range from basic biophysical principles of condensate formation, through the role intracellular phase transitions play in cellular adaptation, to the impact condensate dysregulation has on human disease 🧫🧬 Attend talks, network, socialise, and experience the EMBL Heidelberg campus atmosphere! Bonus: Join the EMBO training session 'How to write a scientific paper'! Free registration for the symposium participants on the first come, first served basis – more information on our website.

Last week's EMBO Practical Course #EMBOCelegans just flew by! We hope you could take valuable knowledge and skills revolving around C. elegans back home to your institutions. We would like to thank all of the trainers, speakers, organisers, and especially our participants for making this course so successful! Scientific organisers: Simon Berger, University of Zurich, Switzerland Simone Köhler, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Georgia Rapti, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany / ULB Belgium, Belgium Pavak Shah, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Course organisers: Camilo Barbosa, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Ellen (Malovrh) Kierstein, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Irena Provaznikova, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Nathalie Sneider, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany

And just like that #EESBioOsc is already over 😮 The last four days were packed with great talks, inspiring short talks and poster sessions, as well as many networking and discussion opportunities. We want to thank the organisers, speakers, and participants for contributing to such an inspiring and collaborative meeting 🤝 🔹 Scientific organisers Alexander Aulehla, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Jordi Garcia-Ojalvo, Pompeu Fabra University, Spain Aneta Koseska, Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology of Behaviour, Germany Felix Naef, EPFL, Switzerland Orit Peleg, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA 🔸 Conference organiser Chris Stocks, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Hope to see you again soon ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dWR-uQ-Q

From 24 – 27 February, the EMBO | EMBL Symposium 'Collectivity in living systems' explored how interactions between biological components give rise to complex behaviours across living systems. Among the many excellent poster presentations, two stood out and were recognised with poster prizes: 🏅 Max Brambach, Harvard Medical School, USA 🏅 Laura Sanchis Pla, EMBL Heidelberg, Germany Congratulations, Max and Laura!
